Defined by: Making an appointment to see someone's house. And not showing up. No phone call. Nothing.
We went out last night and bought flowers. Fucking flowers. We bought room smell-good thingies. We spent about $40 on this shit for assholes who didn't even bother to show up. Not to mention the cleaning. Oh, yes. The cleaning. The perfect-have-to-have-lines-from-the-vacuum-cleaner cleaning. And our hopes were so high. We were really, super excited at the prospect of people actually coming to see the house. Our first showings. And they were supposed to be back to back.
Fuckers.
Karma is a bitch.
